Another project I've been working on is a new USB controller via the ACSI port.

I have a Medusa T40, but it doesn't have a ROM port, so I couldn't use the NetUSBee, and to keep it simple, I just wanted USB, so I can write a USB->Ethernet driver too.

I have it working with the MiNT USB drivers and the usb-storage driver currently, but I'm working on ethernet support next.

* It's got ACSI through port for connecting your traditional ACSI devices, such as the UltraSatan. * It has a jumper selectable ACSI ID.* It only has a single USB port, the second is purely to provide 5V power to the board. So you're likely to need a USB hub anyway.* Doesn't use the ROM port so it's free for those musicians that need their ROM port dongles.

Here's a picture of my prototype plugged into my T40.

If anyone feels interested in a unit, PM me, as currently I don't expect many people to want one. I'll probably make a case for this too.

After adding your brilliant IDE board to my STe, I was looking at ethernet and usb from Lotharek's expected NetUSB card. Would this ACSI unit offer a faster equivalent and more importantly, would it work reliably in Tos 1.06 and with a the faulty DMA chip which my STe has?

With the ACSI pass through, I'm assuming it will also workwith Ultrasatans that are hooked up using your internal STacy/Mega STe adaptor cable? (the one that does away with the internal SCSI board on those machines).

Hi Alan,Nice job, as always! With a USB-ethernet adapter, what kind of ethernet throughput do you anticipate? Currently I get 50-60kB/sec using a SCSI/Link on my TT. It would be nice to up that to say 250kB/sec .
